I thought Celina's interview on BSN was great, she explained the early problems they had with getting the power down and how they had made changes. She was definitely more competitive in her last two races and was on the pace . Her English was great, she comes across as really personable and you can tell she is living the dream. Can't help but wish her all the best with the Comets in the Championship. I thought the stream was good quality, the interviews filled the grading breaks nicely and it was novel watching 5 rider semi and 6 rider final plus it was on for over 3 hours and there was some really good racing.

Comets will have a final rider of that there is no doubt. Don't know what is happening regarding Craig but if he is having issues and is not 100% committed then for the sake of the promotion and fans I hope he does the right thing.

Quite true, this young man has been riding on the beach with Dan the Man and Brady Kurtz as well as putting in laps at Northside both on the track and round the small training track on a dirt bike. Tate and his mam have also been mucking in with ongoing work at Northside. Thoroughly impressed by their work ethic, quite refreshing.

seems rider Polish commitments have done for this

Hardly stopped raining in Worky for the last 2 days, real shame but least it is has been rescheduled for next weekend .

Anders Rowe doesn't appear to have a Polish team either. Perhaps he doesn't want a Saturday Championship team for similar reasons to Connor Bailey ie in case Poland come calling.

Doesn't appear to have a Polish team in 24. Not sure about his average these days either. Did manage just over a 6 point average when riding for Glasgow in 2021 but not sure if he has progressed at all. He does have a Danish team for 2024 though.

its becoming an increasing possibility

No rider has yet been signed .

If it isn’t Claus Vissing then I will take a punt and go with Mitchell Cluff

Josh Auty must be a tough lad, he was often in the wars but walked away from some of the nastiest incidents I’ve personally seen. Hope he enjoys his retirement.

Be very surprised , thought he had retired.

Celina is obviously a bit of an unknown quantity but to say her signing has left the team terribly unbalanced is in my view an overstatement. Looking at the reserve pairings of the Championship teams most are made up of one or two fairly inexperienced 2 pointers. Celina has been riding for 17 years, on the right equipment I'm confident she will hold her own.

Claus Vissing good fit for our final rider. If it is to be Claus and he reproduces his Glasgow form I'll be happy with that.

Personally not a fan of Batch for all the reasons mentioned on here, this was reinforced when he disrespected the paying public at the Championship Pairs last season not trying and pulling wheelies at the back. On the plus side he has great pedigree, experience and as a fellow Aussie he can hopefully help mentor young Tate.

Can't see it being any of those for various reasons but you never know.

Great, hopefully weather good and you get to see a couple of great meetings. We visited Wimborne Road for your opening fixture against Oxford last season. It was a cracking day and biggest crowd I've seen at Poole, previously visited on 3 or 4 occasions when you guys were in the Elite league.

great that there is open discussion, it is a forum after all. All the best for 2024 everyone .

With regard to young Tate signing; I suggest that a major factor in him signing for Worky was that Darcy wanted his young protege riding at Workington because of the track. Personally I'm delighted we have got him and look forward to watching his progress.

very slim chance of that I think

If she is signed up in Poland that would obviously rule her out. She was indeed impressive round Northside with race times on par with the men.

Good little rider is Max with plenty of determination ! Reminds of a young Daniel Ratcliffe in Harry Potter when he is wearing his specs . Seen him a few times at Work last season and he always caught the eye. Hope he is recovering well from his end of season injury which sounded a bit nasty.

Wonder if we would take a chance on Celina Liebmann

Love Bomber, great entertainer.

Wasn't aware of that
